How Does Your Garden Grow??????

Ever time I'm down at the river house I find new shit. I camped down there last night and noticed an areo-grow system. I think it had 8 sites with an adjustable light above. Small, but could be used to veg veggies or herb.

Nice and wet. Seeds should pop good for you.

I planted some Raab Broccoli in a tray awhile back. There is a cow feed trough on the deck of the river house setup for an herb garden. The 12th is a good transplant day, so the plan is to set the sprouts out them.

I'm gonna harvest some herbs on the 12th. Gonna cut my big purple basil plants in half again because they've got a gangsta lean going on right now. The bees, wasps, hoverflies, and green lacewings love the flowers. Haven't seen any caterpillars or spider mites in the herb garden in a while.

We had our first freeze yesterday morning. 28F.

I started a new garden, but didn't take pictures. I'll try to remember.

Looking good.

The deer ate everything in the garden but the habs and Cayenne. And the freeze we had a couple of weeks back got them. All I have growing at the moment is the Rabb Broccoli in a cow trough down at the river house.

I’ve some beets and cabbage that need to get in the ground. But I need to fence another garden bed so the chickens don’t roll my veg, the backyard turf war has begun.

Strawberries are starting to produce but the strawberries in the bottom pic didn’t get watered when I transplanted them so there a bit like f u atm

Lemon thyme is loving life but oregano is getting attacked sprayed it with some organic stuff hopefully that will do the trick the tomatoes got smashed I’ve been i recovery mode with them too

Green beans poppin flowers

Yellow Capsicum ready for a bigger pot the chickens bit this plant in half should be a foot tall by now but I’ll get there slowly

My garden at the river house. The freeze the other week touched them up a little.

I’ve got some big cabbage that is getting cut for thanksgiving and my collards have been so productive that we get a mess every ten days or so. The same cold spell that hit Larry hit us pretty hard, wiping out the okra, butter beans and tomatoes. I’m going to plow it all under and put in more turnips, I love the greens but I don’t care for the roots.

Here’s some more pics of the garden chickens got my new chilli plant FARK just before and a week ago I’ll have to grab a few more

We went to the tomato fields on Monday. Picked a mixed bucket of Jalapeno, bells and tomatoes. {also ate a couple of raw squash} The cold had killed most of the vines, but there was plenty of fruit. But now 5 days later, most of the tomatoes are rotting. I guess it was the freeze. Plus the price has gone up to 9 bucks a bucket. Not too happy with them right now.

First broccoli of the season chooks appreciate the leaves and roots

Zucchini’s starting to flower

I just planted the beets and cabbage from my last post. Hopefully they make it weather been crazy last 2 days. The chickens got to my snow peas that’s set back a good month now.

nice gardens fellas. heres some tomatoes iv harvested there some real juicy buggers

Kiwi fruit just planted last week male and female. Something inside feels the need to separate them lol

Beets and cabbage

Zucchini flower

Random flowers the wife chose, which are now my responsibility hmmm

my grandpa grew kiwi for years, acres of them..i dug a shit ton of trenches for irrigation line whenever i went to visit...those will get 12 feet tall easy if they have a place to grow and good conditions, but you won't get any fruit for 3 or 4 years

I’ll eventually replant them and build something for them to climb on. Like you said 3-4 for years no rush

man the weather outside is gross but I'm getting the compost started for next season now. Need to steal a few bags of leaves from my neighbors so I have plenty of carbon to mix in with the greens. Planning a ~3' raised bed with different cherry tomatoes for my kiddo this year, probably 8x8' with a center walkway. I'm considering putting some 4x4 posts in and covering the whole thing in bird netting as I've always had issues with them.

Last night I walked down to my old camp from the river house to check on the orange trees. The short one has 10-12 oranges on it, but it's laying over pretty good, and got a couple of downed oaks on it. The tall one looks fine, but it's only got two oranges right at the very top. Each orange is good for 20-25 seeds.
